We are talking about children going hungry, for Gods sake. This is a republican shutdown. Democrats are still doing their jobs while republicans go golfing. If children start going hungry in America, republicans failed them. Vote out all republicans!

🧵Despite having $5B in SNAP contingency funds available for November, Trump is going full Scrooge and blaming Democrats. Ohio Democrats are trying to get an emergency relief bill passed but... "House Bill 502 has had no hearings so far and no hearings on the bill are currently scheduled."

Really heartening news. A full vote of the entire 9th circuit vacates the opinion reversing Immergut in Portland case.The entire court will now hear it. Immergut opinion is quite important b/c it applies deference but still finds can’t let Trump have his way when that is “untethered to the facts.“

When Trump took the Oath of Office for the second time on Jan. 20, he swore to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." But now, he says he's "not a lawyer" and doesn't know whether he has to uphold the constitutional right to due process for everyone. buff.ly/TIgLEXG

This makes me feel equal parts proud to call myself Canadian and sad for a world where standing up for basic human decency is called brave.

Message from Ukraine: Thank you, Canada. For being yourselves when so many others are trying to be worse. You reminded us that we are not alone. Because of you, this morning felt a little less like the end of the world. And more like something worth staying alive for. substack.com/home/post/p-...

The utter stupidity, incompetence, and shamelessness of this administration is incredible to watch. These idiots lie to our faces and steal from us and put our children’s futures at risk. How can anyone continue to defend this?!

When MAGA'ts lost an election and were denied their fascist goals, they stormed the Capitol & sought to hang the vice president. When said nihilists ultimately attained power & tightened the noose on Americans' rights and destroyed its standing in the world, the People posted angrily. Just sayin...

Don't let Trump flood your zone. Stay focused. Keep your eye on what this corrupt regime is really doing — looting the government to line their own pockets with massive tax cuts and the ability to steer more federal contracts their way.

As a member of Oversight, I’m sending letters to the identifiable officials in the Hegseth Disaster Signal Chat demanding that they retain all messages for any pending litigation and Congressional investigations. Any deletion of the chat is a willful destruction of evidence.

Remember-regulations were put in place when self-regulation caused horrible damage. Americans NEED regulations to protect us from greedy corporations. Trump & Republicans want to get rid of regulations to PROTECT greedy corporations.

It is clear that some of us understand the present danger & some don’t! I stand by the NO vote on the blank check for Trump & Elon… I’ve got no explanation nor agreement with Senate Dems being complicit in Trump’s Tyranny.

Republicans cut Democrats entirely out of their process for the CR, didn't want any of our input, and would have been blamed by a majority of the American public for a government shutdown. There was no reason to cave to them. Chuck Schumer has to go.
